Nope, but no problem.    Your tune deserves it's own topic and heading.  Very nice Hoodoo man, very funky 4 string banjo - I love what you banjo guys are doing.  Love your vocal too.

Johnny, you have about twice the space available for your MP3, you might try converting it to 32kps 44 mhz instead of 24 kps 16 mhz - and it should sound much less compressed.  Your tune deserves better sound!

Thanks for posting and welcome to WeenieCampbell!

Hi HDMan,
I really enjoyed that.
Please enlighten me as I'm a totally banjo-illiterate.  What's the difference between a 5-string and a 4-string banjo (apart from the number of strings of course 
Do you play with fingerpicks ?  What tuning ? What brand of b?anjo do you play ?

Hi Carl.Im banjo illiterate too.A buddy gave this banjo to me.It a cheap Chinese one but sounds ok.I dont use picks,just skin.I think the difference between a 5 and 4 stringer is the extra sting is a "drone" string..sorta like on a sitar.I think the 5 stringers are more suited for bluegrass sorta stuff but Im no expert.Im just a guitarist who was given a banjo.Its tuned to an open G (or there abouts).I must admit I've fallen in love with the sound and its great for open G blues.Thanks a lot man for your reply.I will upload some more banjo and guitar stuff soon.
